For the book to be something SJGames wants to attach their name to, it would require extensive layout changes (they wouldn't want multiple title pages or tables of contents or indexes, for example), and it would require textual changes like going through and adjusting all the page number references. Of course, everyone can say that of course they don't care about that sort of thing, they'd be happy with the simple merged PDF. The problem is, that's not representative. And even if a majority of buyers would be happy with a simple merged PDF, there would inevitably be a vocal minority who complained about the shoddy production values and spread reports of SJGames being a less-than-careful company. |

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Low-Tech
That sounds more viable as a multi-volume Encyclopedia GURPSiana that ships one volume per month until you have the complete set.

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Low-Tech
Hey, yeah! And, to make sure that every volume is useful, we might as well organize the rules by category, so you get all the cross-references in one volume. We could devote one volume to combat rules, one on rules for supernatural powers, one for gear... Hmm. Sounding familiar, here. Perhaps some other game company has done something similar? ;-)

If it's just copy&paste for the books, I don't think that's useful. |

Re: Call for Playtesters: GURPS Low-Tech
I was using PDFCreator, but seemingly not aware of its PDF authoring capabilities. Thank you.
And of course, it goes without saying my question was completely in line with the thread's topic!
